Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian fighter in the West Bank Thursday (June 15), Palestinian officials said, as the army said it came under fire during a operation to demolish an apartment.
The Palestinian health ministry said in a statement that Mr Khalil Yahya Anis, 20, was"killed by live occupation bullets in the head in Nablus".
An AFP journalist saw a group of young men surveying the damage to the apartment after dawn on Thursday. Twisted metal and piles of rubble littered the floor and a gaping hole was left in a wall. Witnesses told AFP that the army had demolished the flat of Mr Osama Taweel, a prominent member of the Lions' Den militant group.
